It’s time for my October Five Faves, and this month’s edit is a good’un! As always, these are the things that have caught my eye and made me smile. So, grab a cuppa, have a scroll and prepare to add a few things to your wish list!
It’s the last pay day before the official beauty advent calendars opening date. There are so many brilliant options for every budget. I’ve rounded up my ultimate edit in one place, so whether you’re shopping for a beauty obsessive or treating yourself, you can find a calendar that feels genuinely worth getting excited about.
This is my absolute favourite concealer right now and trust me, I’m always on the hunt for a concealer that makes skin look like skin. This is one for those days when you want to brighten and perfect without piling on product: a polished, fresh-looking finish that still feels natural.
A good body wash can make the most ordinary shower feel like a little treat. I love this gentle exfoliating formula that helps leave skin feeling smoother and refreshed, without turning your everyday routine into a complicated one. Uni products are gorgeous. Give the serum a go to.
Are these the best Ambient Palettes yet? The packaging is STUNNING. It’s almost impossible to pick. Hourglass palettes are such a clever way to get that soft-focus, lit-from-within finish. This one earns its place because it gives you those beautifully blended, luminous tones in one compact palette, ideal for adding dimension and glow without looking overdone.
Iris Debonair feels like the kind of fragrance that makes getting dressed feel more considered. I’m drawn to perfumes with a luxurious, distinctive character, and this is a lovely choice when you want something elegant and memorable rather than an everyday scent that disappears into the background.
An oversized shirt is one of those wardrobe staples I come back to again and again. It looks effortlessly cool worn loose with jeans, but it can also be styled open over a vest or tucked into a skirt. Easy, versatile and the sort of piece that makes getting dressed simpler.
I love a piece that brings a bit of colour and texture into an outfit, and this lime satin skirt does exactly that. The fluid, column shape feels elegant, while the finish makes it special enough for dinner or an event. Add a simple tee or knit and let the skirt do the talking.
Pat McGrath and Pandora are a dream pairing for anyone who loves beauty and a little fashion drama. This red-lip charm is playful, statement-making and full of personality, a brilliant way to wear your love of makeup as jewellery, or to add something unexpected to a charm bracelet.
Sequins aren’t just for party season (I should make that into a Tee), these balloon trousers are proof. I love the combination of a fun, high-impact finish with a relaxed shape; they do all the hard work for you. Keep the rest of the outfit simple and you’ve got an instant look for a night out. Or, buy the matching top like me!
A disco-ball necklace is guaranteed to lift an outfit, and I love that this one also carries the Choose Love message and gives to the amazing charity. t’s fun, a little bit nostalgic and easy to wear with everything from a plain white tee to a party dress—jewellery with both personality and purpose.
I’m a big fan of homeware that feels joyful rather than too serious, and this tiger-and-stripe design has bags of character. The mix of print and colour makes it an instant focal point, while a reversible design gives you two looks in one. Perfect for adding a little personality to a bedroom.
It’s a lamp disguised as a jelly!!! What’s not to love? The glossy, sculptural shape feels playful and retro, perfect for the kitchen. Its the sort of piece that looks good even when it’s switched off.
These Cinderella glasses are the sort of detail that makes having people over feel extra special. They bring a whimsical, fairytale touch to the table without taking themselves too seriously, and they’d be just as lovely for a celebratory dinner as for a spontaneous glass of wine at home. A great gift for any Disney lover.
An ice bucket should be practical, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful. This design feels like a proper conversation starter and makes serving drinks feel more considered, whether you’re hosting friends or just making a Friday night at home feel like an occasion.
I love serving pieces that are useful but still feel like little works of art. These 70s-inspired ceramic spoons bring a hit of colour and vintage charm to the table, and they’re an easy way to make salads, sides or a sharing spread feel more thoughtfully put together.
And there you have it, my October Five Faves! A little mix of beauty brilliance, wardrobe winners and homeware loveliness to brighten up the month. I’d love to know if you’ve tried any of these already, or if there’s something you think needs to be on my radar for next month. As always, I only share the things I genuinely love and think are worth a look, so hopefully you’ve discovered a new favourite or two. Happy shopping, lovely people!
Love,
